With National Signing Day quickly approaching, Rutgers and Ralph Friedgen are close to a deal that would bring him in as offensive coordinator, sources said.

Friedgen interviewed with coach Kyle Flood this weekend, and a deal is close. Friedgen would replace Ron Prince, who left two weeks ago to take a position with the Detroit Lions.

Friedgen was well decorated during his decade at Maryland. He won five bowl games and went 75-50 before his firing in 2010.
